Close Quarters will be for people who hate being dropped in the middle of a field when all the vehicles are gone, running for 3-4 minutes to get to the action, only to get picked off by a stray RPG and have to start back at square one. That is the only thing I hear when I ask my friends why they don't play Battlefield. They continually say the action just isn't there, and they get bored.

Sure, I love the game like it is now, but I agree with them. When I'm not playing with a group, I have to stick to TDM or Rush, otherwise I spend 80% of my time running around without a vehicle and getting killed.

I agree but their needs to be a median.

Running around for ages in Conquest on BF3, or the uber close range of this DLC..

Am I the only one who though BC2 had such great balance of Maps? Laguna Alta, Laguna Presa and Isla Inocentes come to mind.

I'm a cod AND BF player. I don't mind to have different gameplay style maps to play.
In cod, we have to fight to live, every second.
But in BF series, we can have a choice, big/small maps, lay back medic/aggressive assault, flying/driving...
True, BF gameplay style changed. I think I also follow the FPS video game changes since Quake 3.

This looks like crap. Their own trailer showed them using RPGs and grenade launchers and it looked like hell. Imagine how bad this will be once public players get it and start with the RPGs and grenade launchers. This will be worse than Op Metro 64 player.

For those of you crying that this is like COD: COD used to have larger maps and better gameplay, actually, then anything made after COD 2 does. Close Quarters combat is a part of war. Don't like it? Don't get it.

For those crying about DLC: You expect developers to spend millions on development costs to give you free content, that you will play for hours upon hours upon hours. It's called Entertainment. You pay to go watch a movie, you pay to go watch a sporting event, and you pay for video games. It's not that hard to comprehend. In terms of value, video games are about the cheapest form of entertainment out there. Who cares if a large expansion costs 15 bucks, you'll play that expansion to death and then some.

After all the DLC's, think of how big this game will be? If they add 5 new weapons for each DLC, plus at least 4 maps, we'll have 12 new maps, 15 new weapons, and more vehicles. How many maps are in BF3 with B2K now? Like 10? So estimate 22 maps, plus a trillion weapons, plus more vehicles.

I spend an exorbitant amount of money on stuff I don't even need all the time. What's 15 dollars every two months? Two Mcdonalds meals?

I Play a bunch of different FPS lately and I will admit. BF3 is still(even though I nitpick it a lot and down talk it amongst friends) An amazing game and I feel there are plenty of hours of enjoyment to come on my new rig.
